[Sugar-devel] [SUMMARY] development meeting 18/07/14

[Martin Abente]

Hello everyone,

This is a summary of the topics we discussed in our first development
meeting. Logs can be found here [1].

*Topic #1: What should we do for 0.104?*

   - Focus on core ideas:
   - Fix or re-work collaboration? Cover web activities integration.
      - Make Sugar more customizable? Get rid of control panel by
      converting sections into applications. Make sugar itself modifiable like
      activities.
      - Make student assessment part of the sugar experience? Think of ways
      in which all these statistics gathering efforts can become part of this.


   - Performance enhancements:
   - Make Sugar more responsive? Starting by the journal.
      - Make activities launch time faster? Moving common bits to
      sugar-toolkit, ie., text-to-speech.


   - Cover other classroom needs:
   - Printing in Sugar?
      - Integrate screen sharing in Sugar?

These are initial suggestions, we all agreed that collaboration and
performance should be prioritized.


*Topic #2: How do we do it?*

   - Keep the current structure for phases and deadlines, ie., [2].
   - Keep the 6 months release schedules.
   - Find a way to re-sync with  Gnome [3] and Fedora [4], so we can
   achieve the previous item.
   - Have regular development meetings. Each 2 weeks? Each month?
   - Have at least one code  sprint for each release, ie., SF meeting in
   Oct/14, and UY youth summit in Sept/14.
   - Request for former Sugar developers guidance.
   - Share design team responsibilities among all of us.
   - Document maintainers and responsibilities.

*Topic #3: What are the Infrastructure needs?*

   - *Bring Pootle back to life*! Call for a special meeting regarding this.
   - Move activities repositories to github?
   - Set up a discourse instance (GSoC project)?


Many thanks to gonzalo, walterbender, llaske, bashintosh and satellit for
